INFORMATION REGARDING VIRAL TESTS IN THE MEXICAN CARIBBEAN PRIOR TO THE DEPARTURE OF TOURITS.

At Mereva and Alea Tulum, by Blue Sky, the safety and security of our guests and team members remains our highest priority.

Recently some countries have implemented the requirement for their citizens to present a negative test for Coronavirus Covid-19 (NAAT/PCR or antigens) in order to authorize their return to their country of origin.

The hotels Mereva and Alea Tulum, as the Mexican Caribbean, have prevention, detection and care protocols for Covid-19, and a network of hospitals and clinical analysis laboratories that perform such tests. Our hospitality team will gladly give you all the required information regarding such establishments, costs and results timings.
